| + | ======Synopsis:====== | ||
| + | $__randread__(<filename>) | ||
| + | |||
| + | ======Technical:====== | ||
| + | The <filename> argument is a [[what is a word|dword]] which is different | ||
| + | from most function arguments. | ||
| + | |||
| + | This function reads a random line from the specified <filename>. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ======Practical:====== | ||
| + | This function has many novelty uses: random messages for /[[quit]], /[[kick]], | ||
| + | /[[part]], or /[[topic]]. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ======Returns:====== | ||
| + | The empty string is returned on error (the file does not exist, the file | ||
| + | is empty, or the file cannot be read). Otherwise, a random line from | ||
| + | the file is returned. | ||
